The Importance of Cardiac Biomarkers
Cardiac biomarkers are a foundational element of the Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS) Market. These are substances, such as troponins and creatine kinase-MB, that are released into the bloodstream when the heart muscle is damaged. Measuring the levels of these biomarkers is a critical step in diagnosing ACS, helping clinicians differentiate it from other conditions and assess the extent of myocardial injury.
The development of high-sensitivity troponin assays has been a major advance, allowing for earlier and more accurate diagnosis. The market for these diagnostic tests is driven by the need for rapid and reliable results in the emergency setting. The essential role of cardiac biomarkers in the diagnostic pathway ensures their continued importance in the Acute Coronary Syndrome Market and their central role in guiding clinical decisions.
